Cantiga do Estradar
Tá fechando sete tempo
Qui mia vida é caminhá
Pulas istradas do mundo
Dia e noite sem Pará
Já visitei os sete reino
Adonde eu tinha qui cantá
Sete didal de veneno
Traguei sem pestanejá
Mais duras penas só eu veno
Ôtro cristão prá suportá
Sô irirmão do sufrimento
De pauta vea cum a dô
Ajuntei no isquicimento
O qui o baldono guardô
Meus meste a istrada e o vento
Quem na vida me insinô
Vô me alembrano na viage
Das pinura qui passei
Daquelas duras passage
Nos lugar adonde andei
Só de pensá me dá friage
Nos sucesso qui assentei
Na mia lembrança
Legião de condenados
Nos grilhão acorrentados
Nas treva da inguinorança
Sem a luz do Grande Rei
Tudo isso eu vi nas mia andança
Nos tempo qui eu bascuiava
O trecho alhei
Tô de volta já faz tempo
Que deixei o meu lugá
Isso se deu quando moço
Qui eu saí a percurá
Nas ilusão que ai no mundo
Nas bramura qui ai pur lá
Saltei pur prefundo os pôço
Qui o Tinhoso tem pur lá
Jesus livrô derna d'eu môço
Do raivoso me panhá
Já passei pur tantas prova
Inda tem prova a infrentá
Vô cantando mias trova
Qui ajuntei no caminhá
Lá no céu vejo a Lua nova
Cumpanhia do istradá
Ele insinô qui nóis vivesse
A vida aqui só pru passá
Nóis intonce invitasse
O mau disejo e o coração
Nóis prufiasse pra sê branco
Inda mais puro
Qui o capucho do algudão
Qui nun juntasse dividisse
Nem negasse a quem pidisse
Nosso amor o nosso bem
Nossos terém nosso perdão
Só assim nóis vê a face ocusta
Do qui habita os altos céus
O Piedoso o Manso e Justo
O Fiel e cumpassivo
Sinhô de mortos e vivos
Nosso Pai e nosso Deus
Disse qui havéra de voltá
Quando essa terra pecadora
Margúiada em transgressão
Tivesse cheia de violença
De rapina de mintira e de ladrão
Song of the Road
It's been seven times closing
That my life is to walk
Jumping the roads of the world
Day and night without stopping
I've already visited the seven kingdoms
Where I had to sing
Seven drops of poison
I swallowed without blinking
I see only harder pains
Another Christian to endure
I'm a brother of suffering
With a heavy heart full of pain
I gathered in the learning
What destiny kept
My masters were the road and the wind
Who in life taught me
I'll remember on the journey
The paths I've walked
Of those hard passages
In the places where I've been
Just thinking gives me chills
In the successes I've achieved
In my memory
Legion of the condemned
Chained in shackles
In the darkness of ignorance
Without the light of the Great King
All this I saw in my wanderings
In the times when I wandered
The foreign path
I've been back for a while
Since I left my place
This happened when I was young
When I went to search
In the illusions that are in the world
In the mist that is over there
I jumped deep into the wells
That the Devil has over there
Jesus saved me from the devil
When he tried to catch me
I've been through so many trials
There are still trials to face
I'll keep singing my verses
That I gathered on the way
In the sky I see the new moon
Company of the road
He taught us to live
Life here is just to pass by
We then invited
The evil desire and the heart
We purified ourselves to be white
Even purer
Like the cotton cap
That if not gathered, divided
Nor denied to those who asked
Our love, our good
Our land, our forgiveness
Only then we see the hidden face
Of the one who dwells in the high heavens
The Merciful, the Meek and Just
The Faithful and compassionate
Lord of the dead and the living
Our Father and our God
He said he would return
When this sinful earth
Marked by transgression
Was full of violence
Of plunder, of lies, and thieves
